🗣️ Lynchford Aquatics: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great shop, staff is super friendly and always willing to help. They carry a wide range of nano and large fishes in such a small shop. Worth a visit you'll definitely find something of your liking.
Fantastic experience: First time in the shop at the weekend really friendly staff and has exactly what we needed.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and informative stuff
Thank you for leaving positive feedback. We are always grateful.
Fantastic experience: Thank you team Lynchford Aquatics. From ideation to ideal morning, you have helped me turn dream into reality. Every member of staff has been brilliant and Corrina was wonderful this morning, guiding us as we decided on the fabulous fins that would bring our new pond to life. As a father of two teenagers ("daaaaaad" ), it was really special to have their full attention as Corrina taught us everything we needed to know. Thanks for the loyalty card, there is nobody else I would partner with on this journey.
Thank you for the detailed 5 star review and highlighting the effort our team always try to put in.
Fantastic experience: Staff are great, helpful and knowledgeable, great shop
Many thanks for the kind words and 5* review. We are grateful.
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this place enough. They decommissioned my old marine tank and installed an upgrade. Marc has been extremely helpful in supporting me throughout the process and nothing is too much trouble. Very knowledgable about everything fish related. The process went so smoothly I’m now considering another tank!
Thanks for the great feedback. We are glad Marc has been helpful. Luckily we also have great cabinet builders and an experienced team who can help with all things aquatics.
Fantastic experience: They have the Best Fish for your fish aquarium and a lovely staff
Thank you for taking time to leave a review. We are grateful for the positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: Very well kept fish and great service. As a new fish keeper decided to buy my fish and shrimp here, they are still thriving. Decided to buy some shrimp in Maidenhead Aquatics, just yo have one die on the way home and 2 more within a day. Will be coming back here instead.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We can’t comment on experiences with competitors other than to say MA are generally pretty good. We are glad your livestock have settled well.
Fantastic experience: The team here is absolutely brilliant. They really deserve the award for outstanding customer service. We went in for advice on how to convert our tropical tank to a saltwater tank, and we have had nothing but continuous support and advice, which has really helped us. I can not recommend Lynchford Aquatics enough. They have a huge supply of fish and equipment perfect for anyone looking to keep fish. This business is now my go-to place for all things aquatics, and I will be forever a loyal customer
Thank you for the 5* feedback and especially the kind comments. The team work incredibly hard to do their best for customers and it is nice when that is recognised.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic aquatic centre in Farnborough/ north camp, all the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Popped up there to get some advice on how I could improve my fish tank and which fish would be suitable in the same community. They have an amazing selection of well looked after, healthy fish, plants and more. I happily came away with some black neon tetras and some amazing orange coloured guppies to go with my rummy noses who are settling in perfectly. Highly recommended, I will definitely be back in the future.
Thank you for the detailed 5* review. We are grateful and thanks for taking the time to do so.
Fantastic experience: Spoke to a very friendly very knowledgeable person there wish I knew his name ! But lovely shop very nice looking tanks and healthy fish anything you need for aquariums let it be marine or tropical they have everything lovely shop !!
Thank you for taking time to leave a review. I am glad the guys were able to help you and we appreciate the kind comments.
Fantastic experience: This has to be one of the best local fish stores in Hampshire if not the South East. The staff are always friendly and really well informed on aquariums, upkeep and fish care. I have been using them for 30 years and hope to do so for the next 30.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff and great selection
Thank you for leaving a 5* review. We do not take it for granted and are grateful you took the time to leave feedback for others.
Fantastic experience: Best shop in the whole area. Plenty of species - not available elsewhere. They must have good sources of the fish. From my experience - you pay a bit more here, but their fish survive while these from other shops die.
Thank you for taking the time to leave great feedback and also for the constructive nature of the comments. We will always prioritise quality of livestock over price. We feel it is better for customers to have healthy fish even if that means they cost a little more.
Fantastic experience: Impressive pet store! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they know what they're talking about, very helpful. Wide variety of products. Well recommended!
Thank you for the great feedback. We really are grateful.
Fantastic experience: I've returned to keeping fish after 20yrs out of the hobby. All the staff are really helpful and gave me quality direction to assist me as essentially a new comer. I've started with a small set up with only 3 fish but it's coming along fantastically as a result of following guidance from the shop. I will return regularly as the hobby becomes more of an obsession! The shop is great, fantastic selection of fish and lovely looking batta fish, of which is my aim to have one for a second tank. Great shop, great knowledge and worth the travel if you are out of the area.
Thank you for the detailed 5* feedback. We do appreciate it and the staff try especially hard to help wherever they can. I am glad their quality is recognised and you have taken the time to make others aware.
Fantastic experience: Super knowledgeable and with lovely quality stock
Thank you for taking the time to leave 5* feedback. We are always grateful when customers recognise the effort we make and share with others.
Fantastic experience: Nice little shop, good stock options, and great prices. Always have bloodworm when I'm in need and also have large bloodworm, which my newts are very happy about, lol
Thank you for the 5* review. We are glad we had livefood available for you. We do sometimes sell out quite quickly but it can be ordered in advance and reserved which we do weekly for many customers.
Fantastic experience: First timing visiting to purchase new pond filter. Got expert and honest advice on how to fix my current filter instead, thus saving me £115 on a new one! Will definitely return as a result of their good customer service!
Thank you for the 5* review and we are glad we could help you out. We will always try and find the best solution for customers and are more than happy to suggest repair over replacement where it is possible.
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly shop, could do with more livestock but understand they don't have a huge amount of space for tanks. Helpful staff, and the only shop I have been to that provide you with a box to carry your purchases in, nice to touch which also helps insulate fish when bagged
Thank you for taking time to leave 5* feedback. We appreciate it. Hopefully we had the livestock you were after. We have regular deliveries of both Freshwater and Saltwater though occasionally, between deliveries, we may be low on certain things. There is always an option to order specific things if not normally stocked.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing aquatic Shop, the hands-on owner and his team are so helpful, I visited first time not knowing much about fish tanks etc and they guided me through the process and what tank would best suit our needs and since visiting again their continuing advice and help is amazing Thank you so much
Thank you Steve for the great feedback. Customer satisfaction is always our aim. Hopefully we will see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Lynchford Aquatics is a charming, friendly local fish shop that provides a warm, touch that’s often missing from larger chain stores and online retailers. The knowledgeable and approachable staff are always ready to help, offering expert advice for both beginners and seasoned fishkeepers. The shop has a well-maintained selection of healthy fish, plants, and aquarium supplies. While the prices can be a bit higher compared to what you might find online, it's understandable given the focus on supporting a local business. It is a great choice for anyone looking to support local while getting quality advice and products.
Thank you for the 5* review and constructive comments. We are grateful for the kind words and reflects the staff effort to maintain a high standard.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and good selection of livestock and equipment for tropical and marine aquariums.
Thank you for the great feedback. We always appreciate customers taking time to do it.
Fantastic experience: Just love the great customer service the staff give. I won't go anywhere else. The knowledge the staff have is second to none.
Thank you Shaylee for your kind words and taking the time to leave us this 5* review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing variety of fish all at great prices. My daughter loved looking at everything and I got a tube stack house for my mum's baby bristlenose plecos which she's needed for a few weeks. The only place locally I'd buy fish from. Will be back once I have my own tank set up
Thank you for the amazing 5* feedback. It is always nice for us to receive and are glad we could help.
Fantastic experience: Did upgrade of my marine tank without sump to one redsea with sump. Mark and colleague have suggested the best option, they went at my home and did full installation (they moved rocks, corals etc from old tank to new one) Friendly service, and a professional approach to the customer. I can recommend in 100%!
Thank you for the 5* review. We were happy to install the new aquarium and hope that things will be simpler with the new Red Sea Reefer versus the old aquarium.
Fantastic experience: Was given excellent advice about my bio orb that was not bubbling. Changed the stone and voila..sorted
Thank you for the feedback and we are glad we could help. Sometimes solutions are simpler than others but we always want a positive result.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, probably the best kept livestock I've seen, tanks are immaculate, great advice plus they operate a loyalty scheme!!
Thank you for your 5* review. It’s nice to hear positive feedback that recognises the elements we implement to create a great customer experience.
Fantastic experience: Excellent aquatic shop with very helpful staff .
Thank you for the kind review. Our aim is always to be at the top of our game so appreciate when customers take time to acknowledge our effort.
Fantastic experience: The customer service is second to none! Shane greeted us on arrival and was so approachable and knowledgeable! Incredibly helpful and instead upselling to us, he actually recommended an all in one tank which saved us a lot of money! All staff very helpful, however we only got the name of Shane - very happy customers, would highly recommend!!!
Thank you Jessica for your kind words and taking the time to review us. We really appreciate it. We look forward to seeing you again in the shop.
Fantastic experience: A great aquarium removal/relocation service, took all the stress out of today for me. A big shout out to Mark, great job, the tank is already looking fantastic again after just a couple of hours. I can't praise this highly professional service highly enough. Thank you!
Thank you Terry for leaving feedback. We are always happy to help out where we can and use our experience to benefit others.
Fantastic experience: Went in on Sunday and was amazed by the shop. Your big tank in the back is amazing and shows objectively that you guys know your stuff. I did not buy my original kit in this shop because I did not know it existed, but I did buy quite a lot of plants and accessories. Will definitely come back soon to spend more money that I should be saving :D. Extremely helpful and friendly staff.
Thank you for the great feedback. We are grateful that you took the time to do it and share your experience with others.
Fantastic experience: Great Aquatic shop. I visited on a weekend with my two boys was made to feel very welcome. We were not harassed by the staff and spent ages looking at all the fish in the tanks. I am new to fish keeping and when I did approach a member of staff he was only too willing to help, giving the answer to lots of questions on cycling my tank, what type of fish to start with etc. Although I got my tank etc from a different store I will definitely be coming here to get my fish stock.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this detailed review. We are glad you liked our shop and look forward to helping you stock you aquarium.
Negative experience: Some of the staff here are inexperienced people moonlighting as people with experience. Their bad advice cost me about £200, not to mention the loss of a few fish. After some back and forth they eventually gave me a credit of about £75. RESPONSE TO LYNCHFORD AQUATICS REPLY: My review wasn't out of the blue. After speaking to another aquatics shop, I called you the other day to discuss what appeared to be some other previous bad advice of yours, regarding adding salt to my fresh water tank. It was catalogue of errors from your company from the moment i came to you, that cost me nearly triple what you compensated (not to mention losing some amazing fish). That you all seem relatively pleasant and appear to care (which i would hope for, when you are dealing with animal welfare) does not change the fact that i had terrible advice from your less experienced staff members (who acted as though they had all the answers). I have had fish for 30 years now and thought your advice would take things up a notch. Instead it obliterated my tank. You should be ashamed of yourselves for your response (saying i have too "high standards"). Accidents happen (and staff might make mistakes). But making so many mistakes, then defending the indefensable and making inaccurate statements is not ok (you claimed i had your loaches for "a few years" when it was closer to a few months). It would appear that you believe that you can do little wrong. I can see where your staff get it from.
Sorry you felt compelled to write some disparaging comments about the staff. Their experience is not in question and I take exception to you implying they are ‘moonlighting’. It is just rude! It took a while for us to remember who you were especially as it was well over 6 months ago that this happened. Odd you suddenly think it’s worthy of review. From memory you had some loaches in with your Goldfish for a few years and you said you weren’t told there could be an issue with them sucking on the fish. Regardless the credit was simply a goodwill gesture. As with all businesses we do encounter the very occasional customer that you cannot satisfy because it’s always someone else’s fault. Hopefully you manage to find somewhere that will satisfy your high standards.
Fantastic experience: Great place to get RO water. Friendly staff is always happy to help.
We are glad you had a good experience and are grateful for the 5* review.
Fantastic experience: Couldn't speak more highly of the quality and care at lynchford, the staff are all really friendly, and customer service is great, they offer really detailed advice about a large range of things, from smaller planted tanks, to large outdoor ponds, tanks are all extremely well setup and clearly done with care and precision from a large array of knowledge gained over many years in the trade. Try to pop into lynchford whenever I have the chance, and will DEFINETLY be continuing to come here for help!
Thank you Lewis for your kind words. We do appreciate you taking the time to do it for us.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic aquarist supplier of healthy fish, staff are knowledgeable and friendly too. Love to support the independent store keepers. Very pleasant experience
Thank you for taking time to leave a great review. The feedback is valuable to us and we appreciate the kind words.
Negative experience: Having completely cleaned my tank after the last of our fish died, I went to buy just half a dozen neons to get started again. But the only interest the chap behind the counter has was to try and sell me additional water treatments. These aren’t required, the tank is perfectly well set up. At one point I questioned whether they would sell me the fish at all! Not a shop I’ll go back to.
Hi Philip Sorry to hear your slightly stilted and unfair comments. We do not 'try' to sell products. Joe was simply suggesting that it is a good idea to add bacteria to an aquarium that has been without fish. Fairly standard practice. The bacteria need waste from the fish and without it start to reduce as was possible in your instance. Its up to you whether you take advice or not. We do not give you a 1* review for ignoring it. Our 5 star Pet Shop Licence, the only one issued to an aquatic shop in the borough, is awarded for demonstrating various things, 1 of which is to ensure the well being of the fish once sold. You can take it up with the licencing authority if you do not feel it is appropriate for this safeguard to be followed. We often refuse to sell fish where conditions are not met. Hardly indicative of a shop that just wants to sell for the sake of it. It is really easy to jump on review sites and bemoan something that you do not like. Hard earned reputations are easy to damage with unbalanced knee-jerk reactions. You do not take into account anything other than the fact you were advised to do something that would help to safeguard your new pets. Hard sell is not something we do and having traded for 70 years we realise this is not a technique that would keep customers coming back year after year. My team are amongst the most conscientious and knowledgeable in trade. We have 80 years experience between us so your comments are ill judged with no foundation. We never want to turn away business but there are a few, very rare, instances where we would actually prefer that a customer does not return and this is probably one of those. Staff are not here to have accusations thrown at them. They are here to provide the best service they can for our customers. This they do on a daily basis and I unequivocally back them.
Fantastic experience: Great place to buy your aquatic needs. Great knowledge and so helpful
Thank you Mark for leaving 5* feedback. We are grateful.
Fantastic experience: Recently returned to the hobby of fish keeping. Lots of friendly advice and zero pressure sales. All the staff have been very helpful during my purchases.
Thank you for leaving positive feedback. We do appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Very tidy place and friendly staff.
Thank you for leaving positive feedback. The team work very hard to maintain such a high standard.
Negative experience: They just want money out of you! They started off with good advice about fish BUT they gave TERRIBLE advice about setting up the tank, as brought 2 LARGE pieces of wood for a new tank but they NEVER advised about the length of time it takes to soak it to get the toxins out, or that it would float. Spent A LOT of money there and feel they totally took advantage of us! We wanted a simple set up to start off and now spend excessive amounts on poor information which we trusted. Wanted to share this experience to help others new to it all! BE CAREFUL!
Thank you for taking time to leave feedback but clearly something has gone wrong. We certainly do not set out to give the impression or feeling that we just want money out of customers aside the fact we are a retailer. We have been established for over 70 years and as you will see from the vast majority of reviews they do not align with your comments. We always try and advise that wood should be soaked and/or boiled if practical. The amount of time it takes for natural tanning, not toxins, to leach from wood will vary and can be removed with carbon if you do not want evidence of a natural process. We certainly don’t guarantee against buoyancy though in time most wood will become negative though sometimes weighing down is necessary on some larger decorative pieces such as Corbo. We spend a great deal of time with customers where required so struggle to accept the comments but feel free to email or pop in and will be happy to discuss where things went wrong.
Fantastic experience: Marc and the rest of the team are fantastic , friendly knowledgable and professional. Highly recommended
Thanks Graham for taking the time to leave great feedback.
Fantastic experience: Helpfull staff who go out of their way to solve your problems.
Thank you Mike for leaving 5*feedback. We do try hard to help wherever we can.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, excellent customer service. Helped us out a lot. We knew nothing about fish tank or the type of fish to keep. All advice was very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for taking time to leave such nice feedback. We really appreciate it.
Positive experience: Better than average store, display tanks showing knowledge and skill. Not at all cheap for livestock and of limited interest for the planted tank enthusiast. Friendly and on the ball staff. Full range of fish including marines and good range of dry goods.
Thank you for taking time to leave feedback. It is always useful to us. For reference we can get cheaper livestock but, in our 70 year experience, quality drops so invariably we will source from higher quality suppliers which will come at a slight premium. That said we still feel we are cheaper than most locally on a like for like basis. Our plant deliveries come on a Friday so we will have 24 feet of tanks full of plants. Towards the end of the week this will usually sell out ready for the next Friday restock. Specialist plants can always be ordered and many of our customers take advantage of this service. We also have a lot of bits tucked around the shop including the showroom at the rear of the pond section so if you don’t see what you are after it’s always worth asking.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff and willing to take their time to give me the advice I needed.
Thank you for the 5* review. We appreciate that you have gone out of your way to leave feedback for others and glad we could be of service.
Fantastic experience: Helpful and friendly thank you for excellent service always!
Thank you for leaving 5* feedback. We never take it for granted and appreciate you taking the time to do it.
Fantastic experience: An expert fish and supplies store. Very helpful and a brilliant selection. By far the best shop for all types of aquatic supplies
Thank you Craig for the 5* review. We are grateful and appreciate you taking time out to do it.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been using Lynchford aquatics for many years. The knowledge and expertise that all at Lynchford have is second to none and they are always happy to share this with me. Always very friendly - wouldn’t consider going anywhere else!
Thank you Aaron for taking time to leave a great review. It is invaluable to us so appreciate that and your continued loyal custom.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t speak more highly of the guys at Lynchford. Currently setting up our first tank and had a few visits before buying anything and they were so helpful, weren’t pushy and gave us the time to answer all our questions. Have also sent them messages through facebook and so quick to answer with useful advice. Lastly in the store itself the fish look so healthy and active. Have been to other stores where the fish are eating one another or look sluggish, never the case here. Will be back in store soon!
Thank you for the amazing feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to give such a thorough and honest review of the level of service we try to provide.
Fantastic experience: So very helpful, I'm clueless but the guys here are not! Free advice and after service is also fab!
Thank you Louise for your 5⭐️ review. We are glad you are happy with the advice and service you received.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly staff. A good range of marine and tropical with some pond.
Thank you Scott for leaving great feedback. We are grateful for you taking the time.
Fantastic experience: I come here every so often, and I have to say all staff are extremely professional and friendly from the moment I walk through the door, I would thoroughly recommend to anyone , and I for one will keep on using you. Thank you to all at Lynchford Aquatics .
Fantastic experience: Great fish shop, plenty of stock and knowledge
Thank you Louis for your 5* feedback. It is appreciated.

These guys are by FAR the most informative/helpful and knowledgeable around and i wouldnt go anywhere else for anything that I need and just today inhad an emergency and they’re always at the end of the phone to keep the well being of my fish a too priority. Thanks as always guys and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend you and send people your way.
Thank you Ryan. That’s really good of you to leave such positive feedback and kind words. The team work really hard and they appreciate it when customers make the effort to give others feedback.
Fantastic experience: Went in last weekend for pond plants for our small nature pond, we were served as if we were spending thousands of pounds not a couple of quid. advice was spot on EXCELLENT service, thanks

Thanks very much for your 5* Review and your kind words.
Fantastic experience: The shop is great as it has lots of variety and the people in the shop were very nice, they helped me pick out a couple of nice fish and they are doing great.
Thank you Omar for leaving 5* feedback. We are grateful that you took the time to let others know your thoughts.
Negative experience: If your after cichlids then i advise you go elsewhere their stock is poor and by poor i mean 5 of the dullest looking fish ive ever seen. Shocking.
I have to take issue with your review. Very sweeping statements that are inaccurate and misleading. I assume you are talking African Cichlids. We do not specialise in Cichlids and do not say that we do. That said we usually have a fair selection and still have several including Rams, Geophagus, Severums, and 3 types of Africans. Approx 100 cichlids rather than the 5 you state. The Red Tops you must be talking about are dull juveniles but there are 7 in the tank!January is never a great time for abundance of stock with reduced availability following Xmas interruption and Chinese New Year. So by our normal standards stock is limited which will be remedied shortly. But we still have hundreds of fish. I think you need to add a little balance and maybe think about the bigger picture of a small business. Perhaps add to the equation the service, the cleanliness of the shop, the massive stock of dry goods covering marines, ponds and freshwater.
Fantastic experience: We buy our live Bloodworms here every week and they're the best quality we've come across in our area. The team are always super helpful and friendly too.
Thank you Sara for leaving a review. We are glad the quality is the best you have come across. We try and only deal with the best suppliers. We also pride ourselves on being as helpful and as friendly as we can. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I would just like to say a massive thank you to @LynchfordAquatics For looking after our tropical fishes , our fish tank smashed on Tuesday afternoon, Luckily we saved all our tropical fishes Lynchford aquatic looked after our tropical fishes while we sorted a new tank They also gave us all the information we needed to by a new tank from them and the chemical and so much more
Thank you Vicky for you kind words. We are glad we were able to help you out when you needed us. Hopefully everything is goes well.
Fantastic experience: Always great advice with no hard sell
Thank you Kim for the kind review. We appreciate it.

Thank you very much for your 5 star review. We are glad you are happy with our pricing and with the knowledge of our staff. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Great shop. We decided to get fish after being given a tank by family. We were completely clueless but everything was explained in detail. We left knowing what we needed to do to set our tank up and later returned to get fish. Have telephoned a couple of times to ask questions and all the staff have been so helpful. Everyone working at Lynchford are evidently passionate about what they do and for helping beginners get really switched on and excited about running an aquarium with happy fish! This is clearly a very well regarded place as other customers were also friendly and knowledgeable and it was so interesting hearing them talk about their aquariums and the fishes they kept :-)
Thank you for taking time to leave such kind and positive feedback. We really do appreciate it.

Thanks Andy for taking the time to write this review its very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Wanted to buy some proper cured live rock to kickstart my tank set up with dry rocks and sand, looked at least 5 places in the wider area including the big chains, found no goodies, went into this shop and: + they had live rock varied in sizes from small rubble to bigger pieces, some covered with coraline algae + they left me alone to lurk and pick whatever I wanted + were not overly pushy with advice + been very hepful with the bags etc. Overall I absolutely loved the place and service.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are so glad we had what you wanted and did not feel rushed or hurried. We look forward to seeing you again at the shop soon.
Negative experience: Marine section is shockingly overpriced, corals costing 4x as much in surrounding areas. Staff are friendly but i think a return visit is not happening anytime soon
Sorry you feel that way. Marine costs have risen sharply with increased freight and other overheads driven by both COVID and Brexit most of which we have tried to absorb. We are frequently told how competitive we are and do not feel the comments are particularly fair or accurate but if you can find marine stock a quarter of the price then fair enough. Those stores will be running at a considerable loss. Our staff have been working incredibly hard through an extremely challenging and busy time so are always disappointed with poor feedback but as this is purely based on an opinion on pricing I will ensure they are not dispirited by it.

Fantastic experience: I must thank the staff of Lynchford Aquatics for how well they looked after my mother after she collapsed on the premises at 11:30 today. They couldn't have been kinder. Nothing was too much trouble. A glass of water, recharging my flat phone battery, not minding that we occupied so much room as we sat on the floor. And not just for a short while either, but for 3hrs while we waited for an ambulance. You guys were great. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Thank you for taking time to leave us a review despite the situation you found yourself in. I am glad the team were able to help in some way and offer you assistance. We all wish your Mum a speedy recovery.

Fantastic experience: Been in today needing a bigger tank (105ltr), great advice, explained the 2 tanks best suited to my situation. Bought the Leddy 75, I was nervous about the actual transfer between tanks having never done it before. I needn't have worried as it was thoroughly explained to me how to do it, I got it done in a couple of hours, All fish transferred right down to the miniscule cherry shrimps. Thanks for all your help. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your kind and in depth review. We are so happy you managed to do it so efficiently and that we put your mind at rest about the process. We look forward to seeing you in the shop again.

Positive experience: Average fish shop,personally thought there was a lack of marine section and prices seemed high compared to what I'm use to. But the staff seemed friendly and happy to help.
Thank you Craig for taking the time to review us. I am sorry stock levels were poor when you popped in but there are a few reasons. Due to the current situation with COVID-19, availability of marine livestock has been impacted due to limited imports and increased competition for freight space. On top of that we are busier than we have ever been and it’s hard to keep up with demand. If you follow us on Facebook you will see when we have had new deliveries like yesterday when we had a lot of new stock. Sadly I think your visit was bad timing as we were about as low stocked as we have ever been.If there is ever something you want but we do not have please ask and we will do our best to get it for you. Hopefully next time will be less disappointing.
